Freshman DL with room to grow for Valpo
Amir Plowden is a 2026 freshman defensive lineman for Valparaiso, listed at 5-11, 230 and wearing No. 92, which points to a compact, lower-center-of-gravity frame that can help him play with leverage in the trenches. He’s still early in his college career, so the real appeal is developmental upside: a home-state player from Crown Point who fits as a hard-nosed depth piece with potential to become disruptive if his first-step quickness and hand usage continue to sharpen. For a team seeking young, coachable interior toughness, he’s a reasonable fit.
